The story follows Samantha Blaketon, a lowly detective in the police's minor crime team, who is randomly contacted by a serial killer from an unsolved 40-year multiple murder case.

Or is the killer playing a dangerous game and hiding in plain sight of the police?

The story begins with Samantha receiving a call from the killer, who introduces himself as John Doe. He tells her that he has been watching her for some time and that he has chosen her to be his next victim. Samantha is initially terrified, but she soon realizes that the killer is not as dangerous as he seems. He is calm, collected, and even charming at times.

As the investigation progresses, Samantha discovers that the killer has a history of mental illness. He has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been in and out of mental institutions for most of his life. He believes that he is being guided by God to kill women who have sinned.

Samantha's investigation takes her to a small town in the middle of nowhere, where she meets a group of women who have been victims of the killer. They are all terrified of him and have been living in fear for years. Samantha begins to work with them to try to find the killer and bring him to justice.

The killer's methods are brutal and efficient. He kills his victims with a large kitchen knife, and he leaves no evidence behind. He also has a habit of stalking his victims before he attacks them. Samantha and her team are able to track the killer's movements and eventually catch him in the act of killing another victim.

The killer is sentenced to life in prison, but Samantha is not satisfied. She believes that the killer is still dangerous and that he may continue to kill women if he is released. She begins to investigate the killer's past and discovers that he has a long history of violence and abuse.

Samantha's investigation leads her to a group of religious extremists who are believed to be responsible for the killer's actions. The extremists believe that women who have sinned should be punished and that the killer is a tool of God. Samantha is able to convince the extremists to turn the killer over to the police, and the killer is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Despite the killer's conviction, Samantha is still haunted by the case. She believes that the killer may have been able to kill more women if he had not been caught. She also believes that the killer's mental illness may have been a factor in his actions.
